The Alamo: Thirteen Days To Glory Full Movie In Hindi 720p Download

The story of the famed siege of the Alamo during the Texas Revolution, in which a small band of soldiers held off an overwhelming army under the Mexican general Santa Anna long enough to allow the Texan army to gather its strength.
Against orders and with no help of relief Texas patriots led by William Travis, Jim Bowie, and Davy Crockett defend the Alamo against overwhelming Mexican forces.
The ordinary band of numerous and motley characters include to Colonel Travis (Alec Baldwin) , Davy Crocket (Brian Keith) , Jim Bowie (James Arness) and his helpless followers vowing to hold the mission fort or die sacrificing their lives and pending the support from Sam Houston (Lorne Greene) militia . They are defending the Alamo against the Mexican army commanded by general Santa Anna (Raul Julia) . An excellent cast although a regular storyline , however the battle scenes are terrific . <br/><br/>Big budget television production adapts correctly the historic deeds developed in San Antonio of Bejar, these are the following : In 1836,Austin,Houston and some 57 leaders gathered to sign Texas&#39;s Declaration of independence.Then Santa Anna launch a pre-dawn attack.Previously ,as legend has it, Colonel Travis challenged the man of his command who were willing to fight to the last at the Alamo to step across a line he had drawn in the dirt . Only two men ,Lewis Rose, who lived to escape and tell the story and bedridden Jim Bowie didn&#39;t cross the line, until Bowie convinced four fellows soldiers to carry him across . To the strains of the Deguello , a battle march indicating that no quarter would be given or no prisoners taken, some 1800 Mexican troopers stormed the mission.They were thrown back by the rifles and cannons of defenders,they rushed again,and were repulsed a second time .Eventually Santa Anna sent another wave of troops who broke the outer defenses and forced the Texans to retreat within the mission ,fighting hand to hand .When the fighting was over,there were no survivors among the defenders.The myth that the garrison fought to the last man however isn&#39;t accurate,since evidence indicates that Crockett and several others were captured and possibly tortured,then executed.That they are bravely has never been disputed .William Travis fell near a cannon at the north wall.Jim Bowie,already deathly ill from a sickness that had recently claimed his wife and children ,fought from is sickbed .Just four days later of the Independence,a 13 day siege of the Alamo mission ended when all of its 182 defenders were killed in an attack by some 6000 Mexicans under Santa Anna.When the troops charged the beleaguered mission ,filling the air with the noise of battle and the sound of trumpets ; a few hours later ,all was quiet,every Texas defender was dead.But a new battle cry had been added to the annal of the American history:Remember the Alamo.The legendary defense served as rallying point for the beleaguered Texans.Although Santa Anna lost at least 600 of some 3000 troops against a force of less than 200,referred to the battle as a small affair ,the valor of the defenders gave the surviving troops something to remember and they did six weeks later at San Jacinto where Sam Houston defeated to Santa Anna troops.
When John Wayne filmed his Alamo story he had built a complete Alamo set in the town of Brackettsville, Texas which is still there and quite the tourist attraction. As long as that stands, we will have a set for future Alamo interpretations for the screen. One such with Dennis Quaid and Billy Bob Thornton was done in this century.<br/><br/>But I would say The Alamo: Thirteen Days To Glory is the best Alamo story filmed I&#39;ve seen. John Wayne&#39;s film is a good one if over-hyped, but it&#39;s a John Wayne film with the story redone to fill parameters of screen character of John Wayne. Brian Keith plays Davy Crockett here and gives a fine interpretation of the rollicking frontier character he was.<br/><br/>It&#39;s a lot closer to Professor Lon Tinkle&#39;s book on The Alamo than the Wayne film was and having read the book years ago I can attest to that. Tinkle&#39;s book is listed as the source in both films, but Tinkle who was alive back then when the Wayne film was done and he was not pleased with the result.<br/><br/>Alec Baldwin was around the right age for young William Barrett Travis, the idealistic freedom fighter who incidentally was a slave owner. Back in the day no one saw the ironic contradiction in that. One thing that was not explored and hasn&#39;t been was Travis&#39;s hyperactive sex drive. He was the Casanova of the Southwest, he even kept a salacious diary of his libidinal conquests.<br/><br/>But the man who always gets the whitewash is Jim Bowie, played here by James Arness. He was a hero at the Alamo to be sure, but his career before the Alamo was that of a scoundrel. He was a smuggler, a slave trader, an all around con man selling land he had questionable title to. But his heroic death certainly redeemed him. No hint of that is in Arness&#39;s portrayal nor any others I&#39;ve seen of Bowie on the screen. And of course he did design the Bowie knife, done to his specifications. That man needed such a weapon.<br/><br/>However the main asset that The Alamo: Thirteen Days To Glory has is a full blown portrayal of Antonio De Lopez De Santa Anna, the president of Mexico who comes up personally to put down the rebellion stirred up by the North Americans who&#39;ve come to settle in Texas at Mexican invitation. Unfortunately those Americans came with some pre-conceived notions about liberty that just hadn&#39;t made it that far south, at least liberty for white people. Raul Julia plays Santa Anna who remains an even more controversial figure in Mexican history. He was also quite the scoundrel, but he was the best Mexico produced until a genuine reformer named Benito Juarez came along.<br/><br/>This film was the farewell performance of Lorne Greene who appears briefly as General Sam Houston. Greene&#39;s not quite my conception of Houston, he really was way too old for the part, Houston was in his early forties in 1836, he was not yet the patriarch of Texas. But within the limits imposed on him, Greene does a fine job.<br/><br/>For a romantic telling of The Alamo tale by all means see John Wayne&#39;s version, but for historical content I recommend this film highly.
